'Up Down Boy' is a play by David Hennessy and the Quay Players Musical and Drama Society and tells the story of a mother (Brenda Giles) launching her Down Syndrome, 18-year-old son Jack (Sean Upton) into a world where there is no mammy to shield him from the challenges that she knows her special needs child will find in life.
